Fired Disney Chairman Ike Perlmutter: Disney Fired Me Because I Dared to Say They Should Not Get Into Politics, But Should Keep Their Focus on Profit Instead of PropagandaFrom Hot Air, quoting the WSJ: In a rare interview, the 80-year-old Mr. Perlmutter spoke to The Wall Street Journal about his dismissal from Disney last week, his relationship with Mr. Iger, and missteps he feels Disney has made in recent years. Bob Iger was ambushed at his shareholder earnings report meeting this week, as several Racist Homophobes asked him why Disney was burning shareholder money by emphasizing Groomer Indoctrination over actual entertainment and return-on-investment. Before that, he ranted about DeSantis, who he, at least, does not believe to be a "Mannaged Principal Globalist" who all the corporatists just love. Disney's Bob Iger takes aim at DeSantis and says his 'retaliation' against the company is 'anti-Florida' - as he vows to pump $17 BILLION into theme park creating 13,000 jobs (even as company lays off THOUSANDS) Actually, he did not say "[park] business." He just said the new board would "oversee the property and the business," thus eliminating, by this word choice, any distinction between the district and the business itself. It should be remembered that this district is not just Disney property -- it's a place where people live and, supposedly, vote for local laws. Iger is basically admitting that, in his mind at least, Disney actually owns this district and the people within it. He sees no distinction between the district and "the business." It's all the same. Just before the Reedy Creek district was transferred back to normal democratic control, its board members all voted to give Disney all powers over the district, just as they were being replaced. Ron DeSantis's hand-picked board overseeing Disney's district is now preparing a legal battle against the company over the board's alleged inability to effectively manage the district due to actions Disney took to reclaim power, the Orlando Sentinel reported on March 29. The governor also today ordered an investigation into the board that previously oversaw Disney's district for "self-dealing" and other "ethical violations." I've heard that this might end up costing Disney "billions," so they'll do everything possible to keep control over this land. But DeSantis is weighing imposing even greater costs on Disney for their corrupt evasion of the law: He's considering imposing big hotel taxes on them, and making the roads to Disney toll roads. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday promised a new round of action against Disney in his ongoing dispute with the entertainment giant, including looking at the taxes on Disney’s hotels and imposing tolls on roads that serve its theme parks. Disney's woke agenda is already destroying shareholder value: The company is now trading 30 percent lower than its pre-Covid numbers and 87 percent below its 2021 peak. Iger defended taking divisive political position after divisive political position, and vowed to keep on doing it, claiming Disney had to push "its values," despite these obviously not being Disney's values, but Iger's and his woke executive corps'. He did some double-talk and said that he would keep focus on "entertainment" while pushing Disney's "values," but refused to give an inch on pushing his radical Not-So-Secret Gay Agenda. One shareholder asked if it was smart of Disney to take political stances that represent a small portion of Disney's customer base. Iger said that there are gray issues that they have to determine wether or not they should weigh in on, but that when they take a position, there is a true reason why and it almost always directly affects their business or people. He noted that for decades, corporations in America have expressed themselves on various issues and that the country is better for it. He cited WWII and segregation and stated Disney is "guided by a sense of decency and respect." Meanwhile, the only Star Wars product people actually enjoyed in the past ten years -- The Mandalorian -- turned to total crap in its third season. No one is talking about it, no one is tweeting about it. And, according to the site Sportskeeda, barely anyone is watching it. Its ratings have dropped off a cliff: CosmicBookNews says the show's ratings have dropped 40% from last season. This may be why: Just as Disney Marvel thought the way to attract Young, Diverse Viewers to She-Hulk was to have Megan Thee Stallion show up to vulgarly twerk with a superhero, they now decide that they can attract a Body-Diverse audience by having cameos by fatties Jack Black and Lizzo. Both of these people read their lines like they just walked in off the street in exchange for a free bucket of KFC Extra-Crispy.
The Critical Drinker @TheCriticalDri2 Nerdrotic summed up the death of the last Disney Star Wars hope. He notes that the Man-dolorian has been sidelined for the Woman-dalorian. Of course. Although, it could just be that Pedro Pascal is leaving the show, and they're passing the torch (or the "Darksaber," in this case). And no big loss on that. But why replace him with a woman? Hasn't Disney Star Wars done enough of that? Wasn't this property purchased by Disney so they could have some "boy properties" to go along with their Princesses? Why are they determined to turn Star Wars and Marvel into just moar Disney Princess Properties? One last bit of Disney Diktor Von Doomcock (possibly a fake name) heard that Kevin Feige has been summoned into Bob Iger's office and given strict budget limits for Marvel movies and shows going forward: No more than $150 - $175 million per movie, and if the directors couldn't make that budget, they should "find other work." And no more than $75 million per TV series. At about the same time, Kamran Pasha heard that Kathleen Kennedy was trying to shift Iger's attention from the failures of her LucasFilm department to Feige's Marvel department. Those were both rumors, but they put them together and came up with this speculation: Kathleen Kennedy knows that Iger has to sell either Marvel or Disney, and so she's trying to throw mud on Marvel to get them to sell that unit, not her LucasFilm unit. They base this speculation on the notion that Iger is laying down the law with Marvel, but not with Disney. As if he knows Disney is beyond saving, and doesn't even want to set up parameters going forward, because he knows Disney will not be going forward with LucasFilm at all. Possible? Sure, but based on the prior claims that she was already being Volunterminated (volunteered to be terminated), why would she care if Star Wars were sold or not? Maybe there's something in her contract that treats her poorly if Star Wars is sold, but isn't it usually the other way around? Don't you usually get a buy-out if the company is bought? And that's it for Disney Drama today. | Recent Comments
